Hi Jonathan,
My preference is outside the shrouds and use the "high" side for
transit. I feel there is no clear consensus amongst skippers, seems
pretty close to 50 - 50 which way to go with the jacklines.

You don't need to run the jackline to the bow pulpit. I allow for my 6 ft
tether and keep the jacklines inboard by using a padeye on centerline about 5
feet back from the bow. Because I have that padeye, I made my jacklines with a
loop in the center (hand sewn) and a carabiner in the loop meant
It really depends on the particular boat. Some boats have lots of deck
outboard of the shrouds, some don't.

Agreed. Inside shrouds sounds like a recipe for more time on deck, clipping
and unclipping at a time when it is best avoided. Being able to quickly
clip on and run forward ( the windward side) to clear a fouled sheet etc,
presents a far lower risk, in my mind, to life and gear than having to move

I know the logic behind leading the jack lines inside the shrouds, (close to
the centerline etc), but on the 35-5 I find the easiest way forward is to go
outside the shrouds on the windward side. Most of my tethers are single point
attachment, so I don't want crew using them to unclip at any tim
You may be thinking this already, but do you mean the toerail or cleat by
the stanchion? I'd steer clear of attaching anything to the pulpit or
stanchions themselves.
